[RFC v3 2/8] ext4: Refactor code related to freeing PAs

From: Ojaswin Mujoo
Date: Tue Sep 27 2022 - 05:20:42 EST


This patch makes the following changes:

* Rename ext4_mb_pa_free to ext4_mb_pa_put_free
to better reflect its purpose

* Add new ext4_mb_pa_free() which only handles freeing

* Refactor ext4_mb_pa_callback() to use ext4_mb_pa_free()

There are no functional changes in this patch
